Another UN 'climate summit' is coming up so this BBC article says global warming is a threat to the military and world security. It cites the military's high 'carbon footprint,' that fuel in Afghanistan must be delivered by road from Pakistan which multiplies the price 10 fold. Paid by US taxpayers in their $6 billion/month tab for pedophiles, warlords, and cronies in Afghanistan. The BBC has no problem with 'war,' its expense or use of fuel.
- It's middle class human beings that need to disappear so AGW profiteers can more easily kill off defenseless lower classes for global warming profits.
10/17/11, "Climate change 'grave threat' to security and health," BBC, Richard Black
"The military officers at the meeting also emphasised the interest that armed forces have in reducing their own carbon footprint.
In Afghanistan, for example, fuel has to be delivered by road from Pakistan.
By the time it reaches its destination, it can cost 10 times the pump price. And the
- convoys are regularly targeted by opposing forces.
Several officers admitted that armed forces were "the gas-guzzlers of the world" - and while that was sometimes necessary in operations, reducing fossil fuel use and adopting renewables wherever possible made sense from economic
- and tactical points of view.
Rear Admiral Morisetti recalled that when commanding an aircraft carrier, it took a gallon of oil to move just 12 inches (30cm), while as many as 20 tonnes per hour were burned during a period of intensive take-off and landing.
"You can do that [with oil prices at] $30 a barrel, but not at $100 or $200," he said."...

EurActiv: "Background:
In December 2008, an EU Renewable Energy Directive was passed, requiring each member state to meet 10% of its transport fuel needs from renewables, by 2020.
The directive also established sustainability criteria for biofuels, obliging the bloc to ensure at least 35% carbon emission savings from the biofuels compared to fossil fuels. That figure rises to 50% as of 2017 and 60% as of 2018.
However, concerns have been raised that increased biofuel

"The Honduran farmers plight is frighteningly similar to the situation in Uganda, where government authorities evicted more than 20,000 people and destroyed their homes so another UN-accredited corporation, New Forests Company, could plant trees on their property. Planting those trees would allow New Forests to earn extra ERCs from the UN, which it can turn around and sell on the international market. Such greed is also the motive behind the violence in Honduras, prompting some EP members to call for rescinding Honduran carbon credits. The European Union is more tight-lipped about Uganda, possibly because New Forests Company
- is backed by the World Bank and the EU."...

"The EU has told Britain it must generate more of its energy needs from renewable sources. But critics say the plan to increase Britain's dependence on green energy is flawed and could leave homes and business suffering routine power cuts within five years.
Sir Martin Holdgate, former chief scientist at the Department for the Environment, said: 'There is pressure to act on climate change. But when you look at the cost per unit, it is a rather expensive way of providing electricity.'
In its latest accounts, the Crown Estate says that its offshore windfarm business is 'experiencing exponential growth and we expect it to provide a significant source of total income in the next ten years'.
Revenue to the Estate from the windfarms rose by 44% last year to a 'low base' of £2.6m."...

7/9/11, "Power bills to soar by 30% in 'green’ reforms," Telegraph UK, R. Mason and D. Barrett
"Costly new incentives to encourage energy companies to invest in renewable power sources such as wind farms will put an extra £160 a year on the average household bill over the next 20 years.
The huge rise is on top of drastic increases in bills being faced already by consumers. Last Friday British Gas, which posted profits of £742million last year, announced gas price rises of 18 per cent, which followed Scottish Power saying it would increase rises of 10 to 15 per cent."...

10/24/10, "'It is wholly inappropriate that the Palace should have such a direct interest in a subject like windfarms, given Prince Charles's obsession with renewable energy. It raises the question as to whether he is seeking to increase his own
